Recent issues have brought investment banking into the spotlight and have led some large global wealth managers to redefine the focus of their businesses. In the post financial crisis environment the reputation of investment banking has been shattered, but wealth managers simply cannot justify closing investment banking operations.
The birth of a new type of insurance is a rare occurrence within the UK market. Yet insurers abroad are developing ever more niche offerings, with China in particular setting an example as to how insurance can be innovative.
A forum has been established between the UK and the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) to discuss the development of London as an offshore yuan trading center. Reaching the status that Hong Kong holds for the offshore currency will not happen overnight, but wealth managers should be aware of approaching implications.
Credit Suisse has announced strong net inflows within its private wealth management unit. In Q1 2012, net inflows from wealth management clients reached CHF5.8bn, up 45.0% on Q4 2011. The origins of the new assets highlight a number of characteristics that define the global wealth management industry in 2012.
A leaked confidential Westpac briefing document has provided an interesting insight into the strategic planning of the bank's operations in Victoria. The document outlines an aggressive expansion plan, with Westpac looking to target Commonwealth Bank of Australia customers. Competition in this market is, therefore, set to heat up.
The latest decision by Westpac to upgrade all of its gold credit cards to platinum cards reconfirms the direction of the credit cards product proposition, that platinum is the new gold. This strategy will allow card issuers to tap into extra revenue and increase customer acquisition in 2012; however, there may also be some negative effects on the Australian credit card industry.
Westpac has invigorated New Zealand's card market with the launch of its Debitplus Visa card. This should prove a shrewd move for the bank as schemed debit cards such as this have been very popular around the globe and similar success is expected in New Zealand. In addition, Westpac has reaffirmed its position of an innovative leader in the country's card market.
In the months following the announcement of the proposed Westpac/St.George merger, doubts regarding the deal have mounted, as market movements and customer sentiment have turned negative. Westpac is coming under increasing pressure to improve its offer, particularly as rumors of potential counter bids have emerged.
From September 2014, Westpac's mobile app users will be able to view account information just by holding their bank card in front of their smartphone's camera. This technology could make financial management much more engaging for consumers.

My middle name is Andrew after one of my dad's mission companions Andrew Johnson. Well. .. .30 some-odd years later. . we have Drew Wesley Ball, primarily named after my middle name. We knew we'd call him Drew so we just named him Drew instead of the full Andrew.
James Wesley Stewart came to the Salt Lake Valley with Brigham Young. His name is on a pioneer monument downtown. He is an ancestor of Rachel's.
I have to admit when Rachel suggested Wesley I immediately thought of the initials "D.W." I thought "Why does that sound familiar?". Oh yeah, because of DW Drums! My personal drumkit is a Pearl but I have always liked DW and I have a DW double bass pedal. I got on board with the pioneer/family name and advised Rachel that I might end up calling him DW. (DW stands for Drum Workshop by the way). Maybe he will become a drummer.
Baby B's name story follows a different road. Cash Kimball Ball. Cash for a first name has no real backstory other than it just felt right. It was the first name Rachel and I really agreed on and we agreed on it right away when we first discussed it. When you are naming two you run through a million names. My personal top 2 were #1- Bo-Jackson (yes, a 2 name first name! since the Royals finally made the World Series this year I told Rachel it was fate and we had to go with Bo Jackson! She still denied.) and 2- Jalen (some say it's a girls name but I liked the sound of it and the only Jalen I knew in existence anyway was former basketball player Jalen Rose (so. . . a guy)). Rachel loved Mason. I offered up Mason for #2 to be named either of those options and she wouldn't take it. We needed to find names we both liked. We got down to a final 4: Cash, Drew, Jace, and Jensen. Interestingly enough, we settled on Cash for "Baby B" pretty quick. Like I said it just felt right so there must be something for this kid's name. We had Cash decided at least a month ago and really the name up in the air was for "Baby A" and wasn't decided from the other 3 finalist names until we looked at him this morning after he arrived.
Kimball is named after my step dad Kimball Barrow. That was the first and only name locked from the beginning was that one would have a middle name of Kimball. He was a great influence for me personally during my teen years. I always told Rachel the one thing I regretted about waiting so long to get pregnant with Cannon was that he passed away before he could see him (obviously can't know that at the time). Our kids have other great Grandparents but Rachel and I knew he would've been a great grandpa as well.
Drew Wesley Ball |
Cash Kimball Ball |
These guys came rapid fire this morning. Rachel's water broke around 5:45 AM. We left to the hospital and got there around 6:15. She kept telling me to drive faster because she felt like she needed to push. Well, when we arrived there was really no time for anything and next thing I know she is pushing and Baby A (Drew) is out (about 6:35)! No time for an epidural either! They started setting her up for a C-Section since Baby B (Cash) was breach. While they were prepping her for the C-Section her water broke again! No time again for anything and next thing we know Baby B just makes his way on out breach and all! No problems luckily on either delivery and quick as can be. Both boys are hanging out in the NICU for a bit (the breathing machine on Cash for a bit to help his lungs but he's doing solid) mostly precautionary since they are a bit early.
Crazy day for sure! October 21st has changed from just another random day on the calendar to an important day in our household forever.

A "sustained, eight-year run of rampant NCAA rule breaking" has been uncovered by Yahoo!'s investigative ninjas at the University of Miami. Former Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro, now in jail for his role in a Ponzi scheme, detailed to Charles Robinson how he gave benefits to at least 72 football players and estimated that the amount of money given to them was "in the millions."

This is a really great feature at ESPN.com, a countdown of their top 50 players who were superstars in college football but never made it big in the NFL. There are players who had a few mediocre years, players who washed out entirely, and players who never even tried to make it as a pro. Sure, a few of the picks are option quarterbacks like J.C. Watts, but most of them are either players who struggled with injury or players whose games should have translated to the NFL, and just didn't. Number One is Archie Griffin.

06/05/2005 Suspected Killer of Denver Officer Caught | ||
By Megan McCloskey The Associated Press DENVER — A man suspected of shooting and killing a police detective and wounding his colleague last month was arrested in Mexico on Saturday, ending an extensive manhunt that also included investigations in Las Vegas and Los Angeles, Denver police said. Four other people suspected of helping Raul Garcia-Gomez, 19, were arrested in Denver and Los Angeles, Denver Police Chief Gerry Whitman said. Gomez's father, Mercedes Castaneda Gomez; a sister, Ayde Gomez; and Santiago Nicholas Hernandez, possibly Gomez's uncle, were being held on immigration violations in Los Angeles, Whitman said. Federal authorities were investigating whether they could be charged with harboring a fugitive, he said. In Denver, Jaime Arana was arrested for accessory after the fact to first-degree murder, authorities said. Detective Donald Young, 43, was shot multiple times from behind while providing security for a private celebration of a baptism early May 8, police said. Gomez had reported for his job as a dishwasher hours after the shooting but didn't report for another shift after that. Detective John H. Bishop, 35, was wounded in the shooting but was wearing a bulletproof vest and survived. The officers were off-duty but in uniform at the time, police said. Gomez's car was found behind a Los Angeles home days later, and more than 200 officers began searching the area for him. Authorities also alerted authorities in Mexico, where Gomez has relatives, and along the border. The authorities were tipped off to Gomez's whereabouts Saturday.

Non-Resident Violator Compact
This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. (February 2011) |
This article needs additional citations for verification. (January 2010) |
The Non-Resident Violator Compact (NRVC) is a United States interstate compact used by 44 states and Washington, D.C. to process traffic citations across state borders.
Motorists cited for violations in a state that is not a member of the NRVC must post bail before being allowed to proceed.
When a motorist is cited in another member state and chooses not to respond to the ticket (such as not paying it), the other state notifies the driver's home state and the home state will suspend the driver's license until the driver takes care of the matter in the other state.
There are certain offenses where the Non-Resident Violator Compact does not apply. Those offenses are registration, weight limit, and parking. Some states will not take action on offenses like vehicle equipment and vehicle inspection if their driver has ignored an out of state citation of those offenses. Out of state moving violations are the focus of the compact and there will be no differences in focus under the Driver License Agreement.
The Non-Resident Violator Compact came into existence in the 1970s, originating from the northeastern states.
The Non-Resident Violator Compact is being superseded by the new Driver License Agreement (DLA) which also replaces the Driver License Compact. As planned by the DLC-NRVC Executive Board, when the Driver License Agreement is ratified by Non-Resident Violator Compact members, it will no longer be relevant.
Member states[edit]
- All states plus the District of Columbia are members except Alaska, California, Michigan, Montana, Oregon, and Wisconsin.[1]
- Most states where a citation is issued will suspend your license in that state while you maintain the privilege to drive in your home state that is not a member of the NRVC
- Most states will also issue a warrant for your arrest as well as sending the suspension request to your home state.
- If you are traveling through NRVC member states, and you are licensed in one of the non-member states, it may be a good idea to carry enough cash to pay bond for any traffic violations you are stopped for and required to pay before leaving.

Valentine Coffee Roasters to add a tasting room
Valentine Coffee Roasters plans to open a tasting room in its west side roastery, perhaps by March or April.
Note that the company's principals call it a tasting room, as you'd find at a winery, rather than a café. With their background in wine, they intend to focus on the flavors of coffees from around the world. They'll serve cups of coffee brewed by the pour-over method along with espresso and espresso drinks, but won't flavor coffee drinks with syrups. »Read Full Blog Post

Under Tami Workentin's direction, Milwaukee Chamber Theatre produced the first of these light comedies, with Matt Daniels as Jeeves, in 2010. In "Bloom," Workentin again directs and Daniels returns as Jeeves. The remaining characters and actors are all new, as is the setting. »Read Full Article

Yes... I put a Stewart Warner mechanical (non electric) temp guage on my 700R4 trans. Did you have any specific questions on the installation??
x2 on What Silveradotrailblazer has mentioned Re-guarding the Transmission Temp Gauge.......the 99" to 07" NBS Silverado's and Sierra's are Pre-Wired from the Factory for the Transmission Temp Gauge. ......You would need either a Escalade or Denali Dash Cluster from the Same Model Year as yours, as their Dash Cluster's have the Trans. Temp Gauge in their Dash Cluster's, ......The Only Item that Needs to be done is having the Current Mileage Programed into the New Escalade or Denali Dash Cluster....after that, it's a Plug-n-Play.......E-Bay has the Best Pricing for the Dash Cluster's..... Below is my Truck with the Escalade Dash Cluster,
Thats awesome cuz i was actually looking at getting the Escalade cluster for it an make it blue backlit to match all the other lights inside. now all i have to do is find someone that will program it, unless its fairly easy to do myself?
i have a 2004 with a 4l60e so i dont know if its prewired or not but if i was to do a mecanical one how would i hook iy up
Unfortunately a mechanical guage is not compatable with your prexisting wiring, so it will do you no good. A mech guage is all one unit with its own sender unit, capillary tube & guage. Since you want to change clusters anyway, you would be farther ahead to go with the electrical guage like 99'Heartbeat posted.
brad, for an '06 any 02-06 cluster with trans gauge will work. I have a trans guage on my cluster, an 03 silv 2500HD 4X4.

Upon opening two years ago, Berkeley's Gather got piles o' press attention for their vegan "charcuterie" a charcuterie board with a daily changing selection of inventive vegetable bites. The dish remains a star of chef Sean Baker's tightly focused menu, but the selection of four flavorful items we had on a recent visit along with an excellent spin on the gin and tonic using apple cider, lemon, St. George terroir gin, and a carbonation machine felt especially noteworthy and worth a mention for being still pretty awesome.
The "charcuterie" pictured are, from left: an umami-rich mushroom tartare with radish salsa, spring vegetables, mustard, and Nepitella (a wild Tuscan herb somewhere between oregano and mint): a chickpea hummus with dried Habanero, English pea, and cilantro, dotted with black chickpeas; trumpet mushrooms with spring onion, canellini bean purée, horseradish, and an herb salad; and a dessert of sorts, which was fresh strawberries with braised dried fruit, coconut milk foam, basil, and rhubarb.
The flavors were as eclectic as ever, and showcased the season's produce in some well executed bites. The tartare was probably our favorite, just for sheer force of flavor. Also, just like real charcuterie, each made for excellent pairing with a tart or bitter cocktail.

RCBS 5-0-5 Scale
Does anyone have the instructional manual for the RCBS 5-0-5 scale? Or does anyone use this scale? Here's the issue: The scale that I have does not have an instructional manual; therefore, I'm haveing a difficult time adjust/determining the proper weight. It has a knob on the bottom that you turn to adjust the scale but I'm not sure exactly how to set it.

505 scale
Going from memory, I haven't used one of those in years. you set the counter balance weights to zero weight, then use the knob to adjust for a zero indication.

Used mine today. Twice.
Exactly; zero the sliders on the beam, then rotate the rear leg until the pointer zeroes.
Or, use a scale weight check set (I use a Lyman set), set your check weights in the pan, and zero to that specific weight. The only 505's in THIS house are from RCBS.

Essie is an octogenarian obituary writer for her family's small town newspaper, so when a young girl named Lenore is reported to be missing and perhaps whisked away by an itinerant aerial photographer -- she stumbles onto the story of her life. It could be a hoax -- or even the delusion invented from the desperate imagination of a lonely, lovelorn woman. Whatever it is, the story of Lenore ignites a controversy that attracts reporters, curiosity-seekers and cult worshippers from all over the country. The Coffins of Little Hope tells an energetic story of characters caught in the webs of myth, legend and deception, even as it explores the fragility of childhood, the strength of family, and the dramatic effects of pop culture on the way we shape our world

Drogue parachute
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2009) |
A drogue parachute is a parachute designed to be deployed from a rapidly moving object in order to slow the object, to provide control and stability, or as a pilot parachute to deploy a larger parachute. It was invented by Giovanni Agusta in 1911.
Design and operational characteristics[edit]
A drogue parachute is more elongated and has a far smaller area than a conventional parachute and therefore provides less drag. This means that a drogue parachute cannot slow an object as much as a conventional parachute, but it can be deployed at speeds at which conventional parachutes would be torn apart.[1]
The drogue parachute's simpler design allows for easier deployment. Where a conventional parachute could get caught in itself while unfolding or fail to inflate properly (thus not slowing the falling object as much as it should), the drogue parachute will inflate more easily and more reliably to generate the expected amount of drag.
The drogue parachute was used for the first time in 1912 by Russian inventor Gleb Kotelnikov, who had introduced the knapsack parachute a year before. On a road near Tsarskoye Selo (now part of St. Petersburg), Kotelnikov successfully demonstrated the braking effects of parachute by accelerating a Russo-Balt automobile to its top speed and then opening a parachute attached to the back seat.[2]
Drogue chutes were first used in aviation in 1937 by the Soviet airplanes in the Arctic that were providing support for the famous polar expeditions of the era such as the first manned drifting ice station North Pole-1, which was launched the same year. The drogue chute enabled airplanes to land safely on smaller ice-floes.[2]
One of the earliest regular production military aircraft to use a drogue chute to slow down and shorten the landing was the Arado Ar 234 reconnaissance-bomber of the Luftwaffe, as both the trolley-and-skid undercarriage series of eight prototypes for the never-produced Ar 234A series and the tricycle undercarriage-equipped Ar 234B production series were fitted with drogue chute deployment capability in the extreme rear ventral fuselage.
Drogue parachutes are sometimes used to deploy a main or reserve parachute by using the drag generated by the drogue to pull the main parachute out of its container. The most familiar drogue parachute is the one used in this way in parachuting.[citation needed] Such a drogue is referred to as a pilot chute when used in a single user (sports) parachute system. The pilot chute is only used to deploy the main or reserve parachute; it is not used for slowing down or for stability. Tandem systems are different; a drogue is so deployed shortly after exiting the aircraft as to reduce the terminal velocity of the pair of tandem jumpers, a drogue is deployed shortly after exiting the aircraft. It is later used to deploy the main parachute as on sports systems.
Negative acceleration[edit]
When used to shorten an aircraft's landing, a drogue chute is called a drag parachute or braking parachute.
Braking parachutes are also employed to slow drag racing (NHRA requires them on all vehicles that reach 150 miles per hour) and land speed record vehicles.[3]
Drogue parachutes may also be used to help stabilise direction of something in flight, such as a thrown RKG-3 anti-tank grenade. It is often used to gain control of very fast descents, including those of spacecraft during atmospheric reentry or nuclear bombs such as the B61 and B83. Some escape capsules used by supersonic aircraft deploy drogue parachutes to stabilise and slow down, allowing either a main chute to be deployed or the pilot to exit the capsule and use a personal chute.

Two Chikungunya fever cases confirmed
The Chikungunya mosquito-borne virus, which has been spreading rapidly throughout the Caribbean in the last five months, has surfaced in Guyana and health officials say they have since been closely monitoring patients while increasing preventative measures.
"So far Guyana has been spared the brunt of this invasion but now we have discovered the first two cases. One is a four year old child and a 40 year old male in Berbice and there is a team sent to Berbice to fog out the area for the next week," said Health Minister Bheri Ramsaran yesterday at a press briefing.

I can't imagine a better description of Carolina's public service role than
Albert Coates, founder of the Institute of Government, offered in his 1978 book
The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: A Magic Gulf Stream in the
Life of North Carolina. In its dedication he wrote: "From the coming of the
first student to its open doors -- the University of North Carolina at Chapel
Hill has been a magic gulf stream flowing in an ever-widening current through
the lives of people in the cities, the counties and the state of North Carolina
and beyond -- tempering the customs, traditions and habits of the people it
serves and lifting them to higher levels of living wherever it has gone."
Public service is the conduit through which the information learned in our
classrooms, the research conducted in our labs and the other knowledge
discovered and created at Carolina is shared with the public. It improves the
lives of our citizens in countless ways and provides a dividend for the state's
tremendous investment in this institution.
Early this century, UNC President Edward Kidder observed that the boundaries
of the University are co-terminus with those of the state. The problems facing
North Carolina, he reasoned, were also those of its state university. That
philosophy is expressed today in our mission statement, which calls for us to
"extend knowledge-based services and other resources of the University to the
citizens of North Carolina and their institutions to enhance the quality of
life for all people in the state."
Carolina has quite a track record of doing just that. Each year, our public
service activities reach more than 400,000 people in every corner of the state.
Female employees of manufacturing plants in eastern North Carolina are being
taught better health habits through a University initiative. Faculty and
students are designing biomedical devices for disabled children. Law students
are offering pro bono work to underserved areas of the state. Faculty and
students are working with public schools to improve the quality of education
received by N.C. children.
The University enriches North Carolina's cultural climate through its theater,
musical performances, art exhibitions and the diverse speakers who come to
campus. Indeed, we have much to be proud of.
Until recently, however, public service has been a decentralized activity at
Carolina, making it difficult for citizens and organizations to tap our
Imagine the frustration of a caller who is passed from department to
department in search of a particular program or faculty member who can help
them. With no central clearinghouse of public service information, even our own
University family has no way to know where all the expertise resides on this
vast campus.
With the formal kick off of the new Carolina Center for Public Service later
this week, the University will underscore its long-standing commitment to
public service at many levels.
The center will assure that the University continues to respond to the
public's changing needs by encouraging new initiatives and coordinating public
service across campus. It also will reward and recognize our faculty, staff and
students who become involved in such activities through grants and other
The center will be a major step forward in placing the University's expertise
in the public's hands. Nick Didow, professor of business and director of the
center, has described it as a "gateway" for the public seeking Carolina's help
-- a place to call, a web site to visit, a database to search, a live person to
speak to.
With the birth of the Center for Public Service, Carolina joins only a handful
of universities nationwide that have demonstrated such concrete support for
public service.
In recognition of our leadership role in this area, U.S. Secretary of Health
and Human Services Donna Shalala will help us launch the center with a free
keynote address Sept. 24 at 3 p.m. in Polk Place. What an appropriate way for
us to celebrate our past accomplishments and look ahead to even greater and
more meaningful public service efforts in the future!

(Saturday, November 20th) Final Score: Oregon State 36, (20) Southern California 7 Corvallis, OR (Sports Network) - Ryan Katz threw for 154 yards and two touchdowns while Jacquizz Rodgers ran for 128 yards and a score, as Oregon State stifled No. 20 Southern California, 36-7, at Reser Stadium. Katz completed 17-of-24 passes for the Beavers (5-5, 4-3 Pac-10), who had lost their last two. Oregon State recorded its largest margin of victory over the Trojans since the teams' initial meeting in 1914. USC (7-4, 4-4) played the final two quarters without quarterback Matt Barkley, who suffered a high ankle sprain at the end of the first half. Barkley completed 10-of-19 passes for 75 yards with an interception, which cornerback Jordan Poyer returned 65 yards for a score to help the Beavers snap the Trojans' two-game win streak. "They're saying right now that it's a high ankle sprain, so I wasn't good enough to go back out there and compete," said Barkley. "Not a good feeling, knowing that you can't do anything about it, but I've been in this situation before so we'll see what happens. I'll rehab the heck out of it and be back for this week, but this stinks." USC got into Oregon State territory on its first possession, but turned the ball over on downs. Most of the first quarter was a struggle for both offenses, and Justin Kahut's 34-yard field goal with 30 seconds remaining provided the only points. The Beavers' defense increased the lead only 12 seconds into the second quarter, when Poyer picked off Barkley at the OSU 35 and ran it back for a score. "Games that are won like that against a team like that, you need that something there - a big play," said OSU head coach Mike Riley. "The last two times we beat them we had big punt returns; big plays that set the tone and sparked the team to get going. Jordan's play was awesome and was a big factor in the game." After a series of three-and-out possessions, Oregon State put together a touchdown drive. The Beavers started with the ball at their own 47 and reached the end zone in seven plays. Katz's 24-yard pass to Aaron Nichols got the ball to the USC three, and Rodgers rushed across the goal line on the next play to make it a 17-0 game with about seven minutes left in the half. On the ensuing drive, the Trojans again turned it over on downs, and Kahut drilled a 38-yarder in the final minute for a 20-point lead. Barkley was sacked by Kevin Frahm on USC's final play of the half, leaving the Trojans without their quarterback or a point heading into the break. Mitch Mustain did not have much success on his first two series under center, and Kahut's 35-yard field goal pushed the OSU lead to 35-0. But C.J. Gable returned the kickoff 56 yards to put the Trojans in Oregon State territory, then helped them break into the end zone. After a series of Mustain passes advanced the ball to the OSU 19, Gable got the ball three times. His 13-yard touchdown run put USC on the board with 3:21 left in the third quarter. However, the Trojans couldn't get off their own side of the field again until the final play from scrimmage, and Katz added touchdown passes to Jordan Bishop and Joe Halahuni in the last six minutes. Game Notes Mustain completed 8-of-17 passes for 60 yards...Oregon State has won its last three games against USC in Corvallis. The Trojans have not won at Reser since 2004...Rodgers' 128 rushing yards gave him 3,714 yards for his career, and moved him into third in Oregon State history. He passed Steven Jackson, who had 3,625 yards from 2001-03...USC freshman running back Dillon Baxter did not travel with the team after he was ruled ineligible for riding in a golf cart on campus with several students, one of whom was later found to be an agent, according to Trojans head coach Lane Kiffin. USC reported the infraction to the NCAA. 11/21 02:22:57 ET |

Gearbox Software and 2K Games will take the currently release downloadable content for their hit Borderlands and slap it on some DVDs next month with the release of the Borderlands Add-On Pack.
Retailer GameStop is listing the double DLC disc for a February 23 release date, bundling the add-on we liked a lot (The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned) and the add-on we liked less (Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot) and releasing them for $19.99 on Xbox 360 and PC.
Not included is the recently announced, but not dated Secret Armory of General Knoxx. GameStop doesn't list a comparable PlayStation 3 version of the Borderlands Add-On pack, but we've asked folks at Gearbox if that's happening.

Homeopathic Remedy
Posted 15 November 2004 - 05:49 PM
Posted 16 November 2004 - 07:21 AM
This doctor was very different. Instead of feeling upset or angry after leaving his office, I felt uplifted.
He started by sitting down with me & getting medical information. He looked at my tongue several times along with my hands, hair, nails, etc. He found out by just looking at my hands that I am very Anemic which is why my hair is falling out, I am cold all the time, & I have no periods. He feels that I have Anemia, possible Food Allergies, Celiac Disease, & Malabsorption. I went for blood work this a.m. & then I go back in 2 weeks. In the meantime, he has me on digestive enzymes & last night I took a hemopathic remedy. He feels that my recovery time will be 3-4 months.
I thought it was worth a try. I feel that I have gotten further with this doctor in one visit than I have gotten with other doctors in several visits.
Good Luck!

I think Lynn is right on track. I realize not everyone believes in holistic or homeopathic remedies for treating illnesses, but they can extremely effective. I used to work in a place very similar to Whole Foods in their supplement department and woul strongly recommend that people look into more natural or holistic methods for treating Celiac Disease. I believe you'd always have to be gluten-free, but there may be other ways to treat other symptoms that may continue to persist. Its the idea of treating the body as a whole, and not all doctors due that, and Lynn's doctor is a great indication of someone who looks at teh entire picture. (I.e., the appearence of hands, tongues etc.) A lot aspouse to the theory that the digestive system is where it can all begin, or end. I'd strongly recommend looking into it. I certainly know I intend to and I'll let you know if I discover anything new!

Congrats on finding a good doctor!! My husband and I live on digestive enzymes. I don't think that we could live without them. They definitely help with bloating, flatulence and bowel movements.
I too prefer doctors who will take a more holistic approach to both my diagnosis and treatment. Yes, a gluten-free lifestyle is inevitable but I prefer to minimize any and all of the other symptoms, when possible.
Best Wishes!!!

That can be a tough one. I just moved to Virginia recently so I'm pondering wher eto locate them myselves. Word of mouth can be a very useful tool. Try talking to individuals in supplement departments at your local Whole Foods or other healthfood store. Additionally the yellow pages or internet is another good source. Additionally "traditional" doctors that are D.O. (and Ican't recall what that stands for now.) instead of an MD are also partaking in the more holistic approach and treating the body as a whole. I'd recommend them!
Good luck!

Later in the day, I went to the regular celiac doctor. He liked how I was doing physically -- since my last visit two months ago, I had gained 7 pounds and grown an inch! He was rather perplexed at my situation...and he prescribed a medicine to take. The homeopathic doctor said not to add any more medication, so my mom said that we're going to try the homeopathic remedy first. The regular celiac doctor wants me to try a medicine whenever I start to feel sick. He said that there's some medicine, Riddilin or something that does something similar, but he doesn't like that one because it causes irritability and some other symptoms or whatever. Instead, he told me to take this medicine that isn't FDA approved--but he's been using it for a decade on patients. It is approved in Europe and Canada, so my mom thinks it's probably safe--really inexpensive, too--99 cents per pill. I'm supposed to take one if I feel sick, then another 6 hours later. The medication does something with my stomach. See, my villi are grown back, but my stomach is really red and raw, still. The doctor also thinks, based on how my vomit looks like (according to my and my mother's account), that my food isn't being digested fast enough. Therefore, the medication the celiac dr. wants me to take sends a signal to the thing that controls how quickly your stomach digests food. It effectively "turns off" the thing that tells your stomach to slow down with digestion. Thus, my food would be digested faster and my symptoms would, he hopes, not last as long. He thinks that these symptoms are something that will take time and will go away in time, but he doesn't want me to have to suffer longer than I have to.
Thanks for answering my question and for reading this
Just coming back for a quick edit: I forgot to mention: the celiac dr. said that I don't need to worry about sugars and carbs and stuff anymore! I should still avoid acid and the sugars in fruit drinks, grapes, watermelon, etc., but I can finally eat cakes, cookies, and other stuff w/o worrying about sugar consumption! He said that the sugar wasn't about my stomach, but about bowels...since they have only been an issue because of the remedy, I can now eat somewhat normally. Thanks again for putting up with my ramblings

One last thing...the dr. has been really great...he has a very small practice in NY since he has a house in CT, I think, but his main practice is in Maryland. If anyone lives there and would like to try a homeopathic remedy, I'd strongly recommend him--nice person and good at finding the right remedy--he's helped my brother and I with other little things before. The dr. is...Dr. Aurigemma--don't remember his first name , but if anyone is interested, e-mail me...

In the small Idaho town of Preston, Napoleon is a high school geek who is always picked on and doesn't have many friends, except for Pedro, who wants to run for class president. Napoleon's eccentric family includes his llama-loving, dune-buggy enthusiast grandmother and Uncle Rico, a sleazy door-to-door salesman who is living too much in '82. The characters are so brilliantly created that, as legions of fans will attest, it takes multiple viewings to truly savor the magnificence that is "Napoleon Dynamite."
With a Sundance sale price of $3 million and ticket sales totalling $46 million, "Napoleon Dynamite" easily makes the list of top Sundance purchases.
"There are more belly laughs than 10 studio-produced, star-vehicle comedies." — Bill Muller, Arizona Republic.
Cautions: Occasional exaggerated animated violence for comedic effect; minor sexuality and language; drinking and smoking.
"Saints and Soldiers" (2003; PG-13)
The only festival entry in the loosely defined "Mormon cinema" genre, "Saints and Soldiers" is perhaps also the only film shot near the Sundance resort, with Alpine, Utah, subbing for Belgium's forests.
"Saints and Soldiers" has the subtle message of faith under trying circumstances. Inspired by actual events, the film follows four soldiers who survived a World War II massacre as they walk back to allied lines. Known to his pals as "Deacon," Cpl. Greer had served an LDS mission in Germany and finds it impossible to kill without remorse.
Unlike the characters in modern war movies, they don't use four-letter words. (The famous quote from the New York Times is "War is heck in the clean-scrubbed world of 'Saints and Soldiers' .")
"Well mounted, frequently gripping WWII tale of GIs surviving behind German lines." — Ken Eisner, Variety
Cautions: War violence throughout film with little to no blood; profanity; smoking.
"Shape of the Moon" (World Cinema Jury Prize Documentary, 2004; NR)
In "Shape of the Moon," a woman struggles to keep her family together — a Christian family in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country in the world. The film resonates deeply of faith and gratitude, despite the tightly woven links between Muslim religion and Indonesian politics, and is a good primer on what life is like in a third-world nation. The filmmaker employs a "single shot cinema" technique, which involves long takes with a constantly moving camera, to reveal quiet moments with three generations of a family amid the bustle of the outskirts of Jakarta.
"The 'Christian in a Muslim Land' angle doesn't get the attention it deserves, but the film excels at bringing us graphically into this foreign land." — Eric D. Snyder, ericsnider.com
Caution: Brief partial nudity.
"Waiting for Superman" (Audience Award Documentary, 2010; PG)
The Superman in question is not cape-wearing. But it will take superhuman abilities to improve our children's education system.
"Waiting for Superman" aims to win the hearts of its viewers and inspire them to social action as it reveals the dysfunction of our public school system with alarming facts and statistics. It's a riveting watch for tweens and up, especially those who may not be aware of what's happening in schools besides theirs.
"As (Davis) Guggenheim's camera gives us a close-up of the Educational Lotto, the implication is clear: Why gamble on the future of America's children? Instead of helping some kids beat the odds, how do we change the odds for all kids?" — Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer
